If spillage in balage or grassy material is excessive: 

 

1.

 

Move hay stops to the 

"neutral"

 

position. 

(See section 4.5) 

2.

 

Lower PTO RPM while processing. 

3.

 

Move knives into the laid-back 

"in"

 

position. 

(See section 4.4) 

4.

 

Add optional side extension. 

 
● Visually inspect mixer before each load and check to see that no obstructions 
are present in the mixer feeder prior to start up. 
  
● Before loading, run the mixer empty and check all operations.  
 
● Do not overload the mixer, as the mixing efficiency maybe reduced and unit 
damage may occur. 
 
● Do not overload the mixer. Mixer capacity can be reached by weight, but is 
usually reached by volume. An overloaded mixer will not mix correctly, and will 
pull harder, which could damage your tractor.  
 
● Load hay first with machine running in:  
 
1.  Low  speed  with  very  rough,  course  hay  that  needs  to  be  cut  shorter  to 
increase palatability.  
2. High speed with normal to very tender hay.  

 
NOTE:

 Gear selection can be determined by varying tractor throttle. 

 
● Add balance of grain and/or  commodities, keeping more fragile ingredients 
towards the end of the loading sequence. For best results, add concentrates or 
other  dry  ingredients  of  small  quantity  as  close  to  the  middle  of  the  loading 
sequence as possible.  
● Load silage, green chop and/or other high moisture products. 
 
● Load molasses, animal fat, and/or other liquid supplements last.  
 
● Allow mixer three to four minutes to complete mixing after last ingredient is 
added.
